In 1933, the Egyptian capital of Cairo is a buzzing hive of treasure-hunters, thrill-seekers, and adventurers, but to 12-year-old Ronald “Rocket” Robinson, it’s just another sticker on his well-worn suitcase. The only son of an American diplomat, Rocket travels from city to city with his monkey Screech, never staying in one place long enough to call it home, but when Rocket finds a strange note written in Egyptian hieroglyphs, he stumbles into an adventure more incredible than anything he’s ever dreamt of.

“[O’Neill] balances a spirited plot filled with danger and humor with sturdy art that captures both the historical real-world setting and range of characters, wrapping it all in a package that offers all-ages entertainment, all the way.”—Publishers Weekly
